The 2021 Running NASCAR/IMSA/other racing things thread

Says tweet is from an account that no longer exists. Replies in the thread seem to indicate that it was a post from his girlfriend’s now-deleted account?

Edit: I guess these are screenshots of the tweets?

 

Denny Hamlin always struck me as racing's version of Dustin Johnson. Capable of both dominating a race or making a complete bonehead decision at a crucial time. I remember him throwing away a Cup championship at either Phoenix or Vegas a number of years ago. I remember the post-race interview where Denny was just staring into space while trying to explain what the hell happened.

 

More gimmicks.

NASCAR is reportedly close to moving its preseason Clash race to the LA Coliseum, and that's an awesome idea

What would the size of a track inside the Coliseum be, 1/4-mile?

 

Vin Diesel could be the grand marshall. The "We run our races a quarter of a mile at a time" promos practically write themselves.

 

Brian France, looking up from a line of coke: "You know what would be awesome? Kicking off Speedweeks at Daytona in..." puts head down, snorts "LA."

 

I don't think so. The Darlington recap on USA Today's website is AP. I think everyone just loves the idea of a demolition derby.

 

That makes no sense. It adds an extra week to the schedule.

 

If you haven't slept in your rental car in the media center parking lot during a Pocono rain delay, you aren't a real NASCAR writer.

 

That numbers forward thing is dumb.
